Club Business: We are hoping to have an in person Rotary meeting on November 2nd at the Rendezvous. Gage Kent will be our speaker. We may need to limit the number of people that can attend to maintain social distancing. The meeting will also be available on Zoom.
Program: Our program was Kelsie Stafford - Program Supervisor at Muscatine Parks and Recreation. Kelsie puts together youth and adult programs as well as programs with the Muscatine Aquatic Center. Kelsie shared links for multiple sites: fall brochure, 'scavenger hunt', 'Sending Love to Seniors', 'Snail Mail Club', 'Walking Club fall kickoff' - this is a healthy state initiative, they may need volunteers for this. She shared with us programs that are going on now as well as past programs that have been done virtually due to COVID 19. They are trying to cater to everyone during these challenging times. There is a virtual recreation resource center, featuring indoor and outdoor activities. You do not need to live in Muscatine to participate in activities. For more information on activities log on to the Muscatine Parks and Recreation site. Their office hours are 8:00 - 5:00. Thank you Kelsie
Reminders: Next week, October 5 will be a fellowship meeting. October 12 our speaker will be Grant Harkness - Director of the Wilton Observatory. Keep a look out for meeting details/links from Rick Gosney.
